Zetters Patent No. 73,559, dated January 21, 1868. i

:stuiteren SPRING-riemen.

TO ALL WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN: t

Be it known that I, DANIEL WITT, of Hubbardstomin the county of Worcester, and State 0`.Massachu setts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attaching or Securing Springs; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled lin the art to v make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to ahnew and improved mode of securing or holding springs,l and is more especially designed for securing or holding in position upholstery-springs and those which are applied-'to chairs, 85e., Ste.

The object of the invention is to obtain a. simple and economical means, which-will admit of the springs being readily attached tothe fixtures designed for them, and which will firmly .hold the springs in position.

The accompanying drawing represents a side view of my invention, partly in'section.

A is the spiral spring, which may be constructed in the ordinary manner, and of any suitable size or dimensions. 4B B represent metal sockets, through which screw-bolts C pass loosely, said bolts having eyes, a, at their i'nner ends, which partially tit in the inner ends of the'sockets, as shown clearly in the drawing. On each scre\v-bolt, C, there aro placed nuts `b and wa'shers e, and, by means ofthe bolts and nuts, the spring is secured to the fixtures, shown in red, the bolts passing through the fixtures, the ends ofthe spring passing through the eyes a ofthe bolts, and the sockets'B rinly clamped to the xtures, by screwing up the nuts b;

This invention is applicable to flat and other springs, aswell as to spiral ones. All that is required is simply to form a proper connection between the inner ends of the bolts and the ends of the spring, and the manner of doing this will suggest itself to anymechanic of ordinary ability.

By referring to the drawing, it will be seen that a nut, b, is on each side of each fixture. -The nutson the inner side serve to secure the ends of the'spring to the sockets, while the nuts on the outer side serve to secure the sockets and spring tothe ixtures. This arrangement admits ofthe spring and sockets being detached fromthe fixtures without detaching the sockets from the spring.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The spring A, invcombination with the screw-bolts C, sockets B, and nuts 6 b, substantially as described, for the purpose spccied.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 4th day of December, 1867.

DANIEL WITT.
